burlywood 2

Burlywood 2 (#EEC591) is a soft golden-tan from the X11 burlywood series, slightly warmer and richer than the pale Burlywood 1. It has the quality of warm honey or aged bamboo, sitting comfortably in earthy, warm palettes for lifestyle, food, and artisan brands. Its saturation is gentle enough for use in large background areas.

Light oranges like peach and apricot radiate friendliness, comfort, and gentle optimism. They are psychologically soothing and feel approachable without being overly stimulating. These tones often appear in hospitality and food branding to suggest warmth and welcome.

Soft oranges make excellent card backgrounds and notification banners that need attention without alarm. They are popular in onboarding flows and empty-state illustrations to create a welcoming atmosphere. Pair them with slate gray text and white surfaces for a clean, modern look.
